I love basketball and soccer, but this is a friendly reminder that you can’t flop on a bike.

Hilarious that NDOT gives 4 days notice that drivers won’t be able to park on one street for two hours on one day, but we’ll close the only halfway decent bike path through downtown with zero notice or signage at the drop of a hat

This has more detail about the Vanderbilt expansion... There's some interesting stuff in here, including a cycle track on the impacted section of 31st?? But it ends short of West End so it won't connect to the extant bike lanes north of there 😭 Would rather see a road diet on 31st/Blakemore

Not every Critical Mass ride can draw the attendance of Tour De Nash. Yet, you can see over 1,000 cyclists enjoy that every spring. And I definitely saw @mayor.nashville.gov there.

On the contrary. They collaborated with the downtown council member, NDOT, SVP, wealthy homeowners, AND a Waymo lobbyist to remove a mobility lane that the full council voted to install

I’d like to hear how collaborative they are on something like the 3rd avenue bike lane that’s been designed since 2021 www.nashville.gov/sites/defaul...

💜💜💜

Yet, just about every docked or dockless bike share is cheaper than scooter alternatives!

Not In My Bike Lane #notinmybikelane

Looking for ample time to ask questions about @cycling.city? Feel free to drop them here! Timestamped BPAC presentation below:

Retweet for a great substack that references very important empirical studies on this issue.

I would like to wish everyone, including all haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) a truly happy and enjoyable 615 Day!

state championship bike races at the fairgrounds speedway today!

I’m sad to be missing tonight, but go watch my friends!!

#NotInMyBikeLane (Elmington Ave next to West End Middle)

KVB is great if you ride on the sidewalk. It nicely connects to the Ascend/Peabody greenway. But the bike lanes still has the highest level of traffic stress (4) due to the posted speed limit (40). This is one area I'd prefer the bike lane to be moved onto a separated zone on the pedestrian level

@bikefun.bsky.social is the best!

Our Riverfront Station has been moved back to its Broadway and 1st Ave N location. It is open and available for checkouts and returns. Thanks!

The video you didn't know you needed. A complete in-depth review between the new Lego Road Bike, and my actual bike. Plus, whether my wife approves my new purchase... www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMvk...

I continue to maintain that this greenway to Wave Country is the best thing about this city

Not in My Bike Lane (NIMBLers) are people protesting anything in a bike lane that's not supposed to be there: parked cars, car doors, road debris, detritus, and bad vibes. We hope you join us in this fight.

This is so awful. The person who was killed biking yesterday in Chicago was bike parking manager Riley O'Neil. If you've ever biked around Chicago you've probably noticed how incredibly well the city handles bike parking. That doesn't happen without dedicated public servants like O'Neil.

jesusurbanist.substack.com/p/why-cant-n... For everyone who has listened to me rant and rave about Parks for months: thank you, I'm sorry.

I saw MNPD bike officers out and about today. When are we getting NDOT enforcement bike officers? Seems like a no brainer…

We could really use a couple of extra hands at the All Ages Learn to Ride class in East Nashville on Sunday June 7th! Weather is looking better for this morning event. Sign up here signup.com/go/hPAbrGH cc @cycling.city @walkbikenashville.bsky.social @urbaneastnash.bsky.social

Congrats!!

There is a plan to build a concrete protected cycle track(two-way bike lane) right here. If anything, the concrete curb design should be beefed up to include Jersey Barrier-like protection here & maybe other areas in the design. Also we should get off our keisters as a city & build the thing!

Do you like Limes? Yesterday we added Nashville's Lime Bikeshare as a whole new map layer! Please hard refresh if it's not currently in your Filters menu. We now feature every public docked and dockless bike share option in Nashville!

According to this story, Nashville is waiting on $9.3 million in federal funding to complete the East Nashville Spokes project. That is less than one typical month of CHYM revenue collection... www.tennessean.com/story/news/l...

Since the East Nashville Spokes project started in 2020, 3 dozen pedestrians and cyclists have been struck by cars along the project's corridors. An untold more have been struck and gone unreported. The project is currently stalled while the city tries to sue the feds for $9.3M in awarded funding.

Just made me think of my first long group ride in way back in 2010. 65 miles out to Cheatham County and back starting and finishing right there at Eastside Cycles. I hate to be that guy, but it was a LOT cooler back then with the bike shop, 3 Crow...and Margot.

Happy World Bicycle Day! I hope you find time to spin the wheels with the beautiful weather today in Nashville.

Hey! Do you like Apples? We've added Apple OAuth registration and sign-in, and user avatars for all members at Cycling.City! Lots more is in the works!

Can’t wait for @nacto.bsky.social to see this next year.

Good morning, everyone.

Madison Square Garden should have stayed a Velodrome.

🚨🚨🚨

Discussion: What's the difference between a Greenway and a Shared Use path? Nashville has a number of "off-street bike lanes", like on Division St between 8th Ave S & Lafayette, 28th/31st Ave Connector, Madison Station Blvd, etc. To me, these are just shared use paths.... aka greenways?

Looking to teach kids and neighbors how to ride a bike? @bikefun.bsky.social is hiring a part-time instructor! I've seen the joy that that Bike Fun brings to Nashville. If you're interested, this is an amazing crew to be a part of.

Our Riverfront Station has been moved to its temporary location under the Ped Bridge. It is now open and available for checkouts and returns. It will remain in this location until the morning of 6/9. Thanks!

Thanks for your work!

Richmond, VA has a pedestrian bridge suspended underneath a highway over the James River (1st pic). www.bridgemeister.com/pic.php?pid=... Why can't Nashville do the same over the Stones River underneath I-40 (2nd pic)? Aside from lack of political will & funding, are there engineering constraints?

Happy Tuesday! The rain afforded me the opportunity to not feel guilty about fixing tons of little problems across the website yesterday. Plus, we've added Google SSO to make onboarding even easier! (Facebook & Apple coming soon). And we still have plenty of beta spots still open!

No one has ever provided a good argument as to why we can’t have bike share on greenways.

Two updates! 1) Street Names are back on our basemap. You can still select "Hide Labels" to reduce clutter if you prefer. Pro-tip: signing up as a user lets you set a default map styling! 2) We've increased the max zoom on the map, to help pinpointing bike racks & water fountains, etc. easier
